Watch this video. It will blow you away:
They're eating dirt, my friends. DIRT. Can you fathom this? (Thanks to Anne for the link.)
Compassion has a strong presence in Haiti (and incidentally, at this very moment I'm writing this post, there are 76 children from Haiti waiting for Compassion sponsors. Click here to sponsor one.)
Here's this update directly from them:
Compassion Haiti has maintained regular communications with our Field-Based Partnership Facilitators who are meeting with project staff regarding the individual circumstances of each Compassion-assisted child.
Currently, Compassion projects and children have not been directly affected by starvation, looting or violence, though Compassion families are affected by the high rate of inflation.
All Compassion Haiti project activities have resumed after being temporarily suspended as a preventive measure.
Please continue to pray for God’s provision and favor in Haiti.
We watched the above video as a family last night, and we prayed together, specifically for the work of Compassion in this nation. One of my sons prayed, "God, I just don't think I realized how bad the poverty was in the world. But I see now."
When you sponsor a Compassion child, they're not the only ones whose lives are changed.
